Bear in mind both those sets you've linked to are just two pads, you'll need two sets; one for each caliper.

I'd suggest your problem is elsewhere.

ChristoT recently had an issue with his front brakes squeaking a lot so when he was round mine the other day, we removed the callipers, removed the pads, put some copper grease on the back and reassembled and now the squeak is completely gone. You can get a massive pot of copper grease for less than one of those cheap sets of pads you found

Depends on the pads. But decent pads seem to go for about £12-£18 a set depending on where you buy them from and the make etc. The SBS Ceramics I like are about £15-16 a set

The owner who regularly checks his/her bike & follows a service schedule will avoid a lot of unnecessary expense/heartache down the line. You describe more than one "symptom" of problems so back to basics. start with your tyre/wheel/brake discs. Next the brake callipers/hoses/master cylinder/brake fluid. Next your fork action(do you know if/when the fork oil was changed?) Next your headset bearings. I see you have a 98/99 bike-did it come with service history?
I have just bought an 03 Foxeye with most old MOT certs but no service record SO I got out Mr Haynes & am systematically working through ALL the service items. Now Yamaha recommend changing the rubber brake hoses every 4 years-mine are rubber so am ordering a set of braided hoses. They also recommend changing all the rubber seals both in the calipers & also the master cylinder internals every 2 years. If  you have to spend a bit of money remember its a small price to pay for peace of mind(there are insurance implications as well if your bike is found to be unroadworthy after an accident)-Brakes & Tyres don't cut corners & compromise your safety :eek

Only problem is that if you get to really like them i can't actually tell you what make they are for you to get them again?  :rolleyes
But i can promise you they weren't a crappy make 'cos i was trying different brands out when i had my braking problem and remember prices getting more expensive as i was trying to solve it.  :\

They're in the post, you should have them tomorrow, i just need to sweet talk the receptionist first
